摘要:

青藏高原南部雅鲁藏布江(雅江)流域位于印度板块和欧亚板块碰撞产生的缝合带,是地球系统科学研究的热点地区。该区域中更新世以来的风成沉积物不仅是揭示青藏高原气候变化与大气环流演化的重要窗口,而且有助于深入认识构造、气候及地表景观之间的内在联系,然而我们对于该区域风成沉积物的空间格局、沉积模式及其环境效应至今仍然缺乏系统的认识。本文在大量野外考察和已有研究结果基础上,结合典型沉积物样品的综合分析,对雅江流域风成沉积体系进行了梳理,绘制了《雅江风成沉积空间分布图》,包括1幅序图和6幅区域分布图,其中风沙和黄土沉积呈斑块状分布,二者通常相伴而生。黄土与沙丘、河流砂等松散沉积物之间存在密切的物质联系,区域内的风成沉积以自循环过程为主,记录了区域气候的空间差异。河谷沉积物在接受有限的远源粉尘输入的同时,在高空西风的作用下向全球贡献粉尘物质。中更新世以来的粉尘活动受控于构造运动和全球气候变化的耦合,而全新世粉尘活动受河谷环境影响表现较为复杂,区域气候变化受中纬度西风和印度夏季风的协同作用影响。

Abstract:

Situated in the suture zone formed by the India-Euroasia collision, the Yarlung Zangbo River (YZR) basin in the southern Tibetan Plateau is a hotspot for Earth systems research, where Middle-Pleistocene aeolian deposits not only provide an important window into the history of climate change and atmospheric circulation in the Tibetan Plateau, but also help us to gain a deeper understanding of the link between tectonics, climate and landscapes in general. However, a systematic understanding of the distribution, depositional model, and environmental effects of aeolian sediments in this region is still lacking. Here, we construct a new atlas and a depositional model of aeolian sediments in the YZR basin based on extensive field investigation as well as laboratory analyses of typical sediment samples collected across the region, combined with existing research results. In general, aeolian sand and loess are distributed in patches and usually occur together. A close provenance relation between loess and nearby loose sediments such as sand dunes and river sands indicates that aeolian sediments cycle locally, hence they record spatial changes of regional climate; in contrast, the valley sediments not only receive dust from distant sources but also contribute dust materials to the world via upper-level westerly winds. Middle-Pleistocene aeolian dust activity in the YZR basin was controlled combinedly by tectonic movement and global climate change; whereas aeolian dust activity during the Holocene was relatively complex under the river valley environment, and regional climate change was generally influenced by the synergistic effect of the mid-latitude Westerlies and the Indian summer monsoon.

Key words: southern Tibetan Plateau, Yarlung Zangbo River, sand dune, loess, distribution, provenance, climate change, Holocene
